In-Game: No MRI for Perez

I don’t understand this at all. Oliver Perez is on the DL with stiffness in his lower back, but when he returns to New York, as of now there are no plans for him to be re-examined by team physicians or get a MRI.

Perez hasn’t had a MRI since complaining of the stiffness. What are they waiting for?
